PAINT TALK: Forget About Color When You Paint

[@x7j4]

Superb example of “Value does all the work, but colour gets all the credit” I took a photo of the screen after your painting was finished then I converted the photo to black and white and your painting was an excellent value representation.

[@gabrielgraves5564]

Me, colorblind and reading the title: OwO

[@lindag3650]

I used to know a colorblind man who painted on automobiles. People had to tell him what colors to use, but he was so good with that airbrush. He was talented like Frazetta talent.

[@eoincostello4634]

I'm colorblind red green check out Irish artist Paul Henry also colorblind he inspired me to paint

[@potato686]

u should forget the gray too

[@andradegilmar]

Black and White? YES PLEASE!

[@lindag3650]

My first portrait was of Marilyn Monroe, black & white from a black & white photo. It was crude in style, but, it looked just like Marilyn. It got me off to a good trip with oil paints.

[@dalehallmark9174]

Instead of a black and white study which would be fun, I would rather see a Sepia based study or maybe a sepia and ochre but that is just me. Also a night time scene that is rainy and wet would be fun.

[@mariaayala5632]

That sounds so interesting actually !!!

[@robyn905]

YES YES YES

[@patcook139]

Yes. Do a black & white please.

[@mabyonedayicanbehappy]

Just say what you mean, you want a painting video of a night time rainy scene with a sepia tone so you can make it yourself.

[@dalehallmark9174]

@@mabyonedayicanbehappy I said what I meant. However you are partially correct, I would use it as instruction to do a similar but different scene for myself. I have no interest in doing any image I see on youtube or anywhere else. Would rather do my own images.

[@tremendousdreamyouth1017]

this is exactly the video i needed to see! ive felt so confused, bc i always try to make my paintings more colorful but always end up looking muddy. thanks for inspiring me, ill definitely try this out!!

[@ArtbyJasonABell]

...I remember when I use to be clueless about color theory and the value of color lol...now its like 2nd nature with people like you teaching and sharing your art knowledge on youtube....great lesson and explanation coach!!!

[@hoppingwren]

I've been doing some night time paintings so I'd really like to see how you tackle that - thanks Chris!

[@paintcoach]

Will do!

[@jakeselwyn6256]

@@paintcoach I second this, seeing how to handle a night time scene would be ace!

[@renzo6490]

Take a photo of your palette showing all of the paint colors. transfer photo to your computer or keep it on your device. Edit photo to gray scale ( black and white ) You will see each color's true value. A note on pronunciation. Dissect is not pronounced the same way that bisect and trisect are. The difference is that there are two s’s in diSSect making the prefix of dissect DIS and not DI. BI sect is to cut in two pieces. TRI sect is to cut in three. But the prefix DIS has the meaning “”to undo” as in DIS appear or DIS like or DIS agree. So, dissect means to unsection or to take apart.

[@hannahseasoul]

Values is something I've been struggling with in painting, and this seems like an awesome (and colourful, I love colourful) excercise to try out. Thanks for the video!

[@leipng2]

Yes on that black & white painting!

[@periottt6896]

I love this type of colorful realistic portrait

[@1223santigato]

This video is the ultimate information needed to become a good painter, I am not kidding when I say is the perfect video.

[@susanstopoulos]

Yes, I would love to see the night scene please. I have an idea for a moonlit garden and I’d love to see how to capture moonlight (especially on a human face). 😊🌘

[@jakevisconti1765]

This is a great idea as a fun challenge, I'm becoming proper obsessed with your channel Much love from South Africa

[@paintcoach]

Thanks!

[@BradLWoods]

I'm colorblind so this is great!

[@TheWipal]

if anyone wears glasses they can also take off their glasses to help see bigger shapes, works better than squinting, ha ha! but it's just depends of bad/good ur vision is when taking off ur glasses idk, give it a swhirl!

[@GalleryBry]

I remove my glasses all the time!!

[@jillkidd60]

Please do a nocturnal painting. There are times when I want to paint a candle and have no clue how to make it glow. Also, yes, I would love for you to do a black-and-white portrait lesson.

[@merciart3090]

Great painting of Samuel Clemens

[@moonbeamyall]

I have never hit subscribe button as fast as when I heard you said "I'm not a fan of blending" because I REALLY love paintings that looks like shapes of colors and if you see the painting up close it would looks like jumbled color but if you take a step back you could see the whole picture. Also I have never heard of the tips you gave throughout the video and that helps a lot!! Although I paint as a hobby and not being too serious about that, now that I've found your channel I think I might improve my skills a little. Aah, sorry for babbling too much but I've never been this excited for a ling time. Thank you for the vids please keep making these vids!!

[@doublerainbow-44]

"start big and work small" thanks!

[@jillbassett1150]

Would love to see an oil painting in black/white. Thanks for all you have taught in all your vids

[@jonathan5914]

Yes to the black and white. And yes to the nocturnal light scene as well. What a great idea!

[@annjelley5363]

Yes please Chris - black and white value painting!

[@alexielmarquay]

Wow! This video just answered to my biggest struggle with using colors. Thank you so much!

I wanna tHank you from the deepest core of my heart. Im a makeup artist , and you have helped me so much with this video. Thank u again!

[@ConservativeSatanist666]

5:25 I always enjoy your videos but I have to admit this one actually gets me kind of excited to get back at it!

[@Eldiva78]

Perfect. When it's with limited pallette you can make it for paints by numbers and many people will follow you :)

[@kristinkash2210]

As I watch this I can only say. Exactly everything I needed to hear.

[@tokieo]

Dude you and your words and your painting is amazing i’m grateful for your existence

[@3TeensProductions]

I'm painting coach. Thanks for the exercise. Look forward to your videos.

[@paintcoach]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@eschelar]

I'm learning in digital, but very much enjoying the content so far. I've learned quite a bit just thinking about your instructives. Kinda crazy how young you look. Your art feels like that of a master.

[@HIM.9]

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Yeaaaah I'm gonna try this exercise for my next painting, I loooved the final result!!

[@_Mooniecakes_]

PLEASE do that nocturnal scene you talk about! Those are my favorite!

[@davevanfunk8917]

For someone who has worked with Prismacolor pencils for years, this is really great!

[@ArningEchanoPH]

Nighttime backlit scenery and glowing lights on a dark background! I found this video on my main feed thru YT algorithm. It was a great refresher on colors vs. values thank you!

[@user-qw5bk1sg6d]

Thank you so much, Chris! I'm loving your videos!

[@NatashaSGill]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been wanting to try this approach and I didn't know how to tackle it. This was very helpful. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me grow as a painter. Thank you!

Black and white painting please. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom in art and teaching us in a way that anyone can understand. Your a blessing! God bless!

[@coloradomark2159]

Sound advice Coach. Never thought of painting in this manner but will put more thought into painting in values.

[@theproductivitymuse]

Loved this, and your videos "learn how to paint with oils in 10 minutes", and "why oils are better than acrylics". I would love to see a video on acrylic paint habits to break when beginning to paint in oils, and what to do instead.

[@Hiadica]

Big yes on the night/ glowing lights idea

[@mickywoolf120]

Yes please for black and white values 😊

[@somdebchoudhury1637]

Great advice..!👌🏻👌🏻 Could you post more ideas and advice with tutorials like these..

Yes of course!

[@nlbhaduri]

Thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial...I forget how to use tone in my quest to nail the colour value of something and this is like FREEDOM to me! Thanks!

This is my breakthrough lesson. Wow. Thank you.

Hello Sir, just had you recommended to me. You’re explanations are very clear and concise. However, your masterwork is also due to terrific drawing skill! Wow! Appreciate your talent, we do.

[@deborahbergren9849]

Just did a value practice based on your tutorial! Great fun and pleased with the results!

[@ronanreal3003]

Yes please do black and white. I would love to see your point of view on glowing light. I've watched several videos already but feel your tutorial would be very informative. Thanks for all the content and posting such a variety.

[@uvonnejones-most9276]

Love your information on color, it's spot on , only thing is I can only work in acrylic paints due chronic pain issues. But I love following you.

You are right, its all about shadows.

[@suzannetrundy5089]

Nocturnal scene with glowing lights please! I've been stuck trying to create this for a stretch. Thank you

I like your teaching style. I would love to see you make videos for both black and white and illuminated lights. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

[@robinmazariegos1]

Very true, I like that concept! thanks for the idea!

[@jajphotog77]

That is an AWESOME painting! I love it! Twain is one of my favorite historical people. Also, like the advice about focusing on values instead of color. I'm not doing oil paintings right now but I thought I could take that idea into my digital graphic arts. Cheers!

[@encorebeautification]

Yes please do a nocturnal scene to show how to use the dark values to make light glow xxxx

You're appreciated Coach! What challenge or skill would you say is still difficult for you? Appreciate ya Merry Christmas 😁

You make it look so easy. Painting observing the values is what I do fatal. Thank you Chris. I hope to continue seeing your tips next year 2021

[@CaptainFutureman]

A very nice approach, thanks for sharing! I will definitely start doing more of this as it kind of feels like the missing link I have been looking for between a more faithful black and white rendering and a more loose and chaotic use of colour, keeping the best of both worlds.

[@paintcoach]

It's a great way to shake things up and test your value seeing skills
